Common sense…..perhaps they should have NOT SHARED the good news with anyone, especially since they agreed to confidentiality agreement……BUT IF it is like any other Judicial System cases NO ONE explained this to them. The lawyers are SUPPOSED TO BUT MOST OF THEM DO NOT TELL THEIR CLIENTS ANYTHING AT ALL….sad but SO TRUE. A GUILFORD COUNTY NC JUDGE was going to hold me in *contempt of court for not agreeing to a statement and my attorney told me NOTHING at all about this…and NEVER DID….Most attorneys SUCK. Of course I think we all know that the good old boys and girls stick together.

Their daughter should probabaly go to college for a law degree and learn what a confidentiality clause is. You just made your parents lose 80G’s, no more christmas or birthday’s for you honey……biggest fail ever!!

I sure feel sorry for her father. It wasn’t him saying anything about it so how did they get by with doing this to him. She wasn’t the one who agreed to the clause he did. What they did is wrong but she should have known better than to open her mouth. Guess collage hasn’t taught her much.

First, I don’t think that a standard non-disclosure agreement prohibits you from talking to your wife and children about it. That would be an unreasonable burden, so let’s get off the dad’s back on this one. Secondly, while the daughter did act like a spoiled arrogant brat, she really didn’t disclose any of the terms of the settlement, so I think a better lawyer could get that ruling overturned on appeal. Lastly, none of this should have allowed these guys to get away with discriminating against someone.

Dad needs to appeal. It IS unreasonable for a court to expect “non-disclosure” to include immediate family. Secondly, it was the daughter, not the dad who made a public comment… and as someone already mentioned, no terms or conditions of the settlement were made public… only the fact that Dad won the case. Daughter acted irresponsibly, sure, but Dad won the case based on a valid and defensible claim. What right does the school have to tell Dad how he can use the money anyway? Give him his $.
